• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $17,895.
• Full-time graduate tuition and required fees, 2024-25: $16,611.
• Part-time graduate tuition, 2024-25: $669 per credit hour, before applicable fees.

Those amounts are not a complete annual cost of attendance. Students also need to budget for housing, food, transportation, books and supplies, and any program-specific expenses. Because South University-Richmond does not offer college-operated undergraduate housing, a student's living costs will depend heavily on their own arrangements. A current financial-aid budget can show which expenses the institution includes for a particular enrollment pattern.

In the reported aid figures, the average net price for students from families earning $0-$48,000 was $31,379. Net price is a group average after grant aid, not a bill or an estimate of what one applicant will pay. The same reporting set shows that all students in the measured aid group received some form of financial aid, while half used student loans; aid can include money that must be repaid.

Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, applicable state or institutional assistance, and military education benefits. The FAFSA is the starting point for determining eligibility for federal aid. Compare an individualized aid offer with the full cost of attendance, and separate grants and scholarships from loans before deciding how much to borrow.

What are the work-study opportunities at South University-Richmond?

Students seeking paid work while attending South University-Richmond should distinguish Federal Work-Study from an ordinary part-time job. Work-Study, when awarded, is need-based federal aid earned through eligible employment; it is not an upfront reduction in tuition or a guarantee of a position.

The financial-aid office can tell an applicant whether Work-Study is available for their circumstances and how to find eligible jobs. Students should also ask whether campus positions or approved off-campus positions fit their class and clinical schedules. A regular job or internship may provide income or experience without being part of a Work-Study award.

For career preparation, ask the campus which advising, résumé review, interview practice, employer contacts, and internship-search services are available to students in your program. Such services can support a job search, but their availability should not be confused with a verified employment rate or a promise of placement.
